Wind Power

PSE: a leader in delivering clean, renewable energy

Puget Sound Energy is the Pacific Northwest's largest producer of renewable energy. We own and operate two large wind farms in Washington state, the Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility in Kittitas County and the Hopkins Ridge Wind Facility in Columbia County. We are now building our third and largest wind facility. Lower Snake River Wind Project, in Garfield County.

Our two current wind projects produce up to 430 megawatts of electricity at full capacity, enough to meet the power demands of approximately 130,000 homes, making us the second-largest generator of wind power in the U.S. among privately-held utilities.

PSE sells the excess green-energy attributes generated by our wind facilities to other entities across the nation, The revenue from these sales helps to reduce our customers' power costs. Because we sell these "renewable energy credits," the electricity produced by our wind-power facilities currently is not included as "renewable" energy in our power-supply mix as reported by the state of Washington
